    My husband does that.

    He doesn't mean to, he writes it as he says it and it's said like that because of our accent.

    He's not thick, stupid, lazy or ignorant at all.

    Does writing 'have' bring the bacon to the table? Does it make him a worse Father or husband?

    No, it doesn't, so it really doesn't matter does it?

    I disagree. I have a very strong manchester accent, but it doesnt mean i have to write 'arlad' when talking about my brother.

    He hardly writes and when he does, that's the only slip up he makes.

    If you think that makes him all those things I mentioned, then that makes you even more ignorant.

    'Twice' might have been more elegant but no matter; 'two times' isn't grammatically incorrect.

    That aside, if someone believed that 'of' was correct (instead of 'have') then they're going to write it every single time they use that construction! It would be a bit weird to write 'should have' then 'should of'...! So why the surprise that they've used it twice?!

    Ive no problem with spelling either, but this isnt a spelling mistake, it's a completely wrong word. Actually, I think it is closer to text speak than anything else.


    yes i know it wasnt about spelling, i got carried away
